we have the strongest national defense, we've got the strongest technology, we've got the strongest men and women in uniform. there is no reason, no reason why we have to have this budget uncertainty of a legislative mechanism that was designed not to go into effect. because it was so onerous. so, you have my word that i will continue to fight for the rest of the time i'm in this office and wherever i go to try to urge the congress of the united states to exercise the responsibility that they owe the american people, to do what's right. as i've said before, none of our military's great technology is worth anything without those who acquire it and maintain it and employ it. our military strength is not just measured by our capacity to defeat aggressor or topple regimes with advanced technology. one of our greatest strengths is our ability to partner with other nations to uphold american values abroad and to sustain american leadership across the world. we are the strongest military power in the world. the world needs our leadership. the world needs the united states of america to lead th

the problem was then the technology change. all of a sudden, everything that are not important, electronic sensors, motors, viewfinders, lenses. there was no longer any capability to make them in new york anymore. this is where it came up with the notion of the health of the industrial commons which is really important to being able to sustain your ability to innovate. the company leaders then think about more broadly the capabilities embodied by suppliers, educational institutions to train workers? component manufacturing, toolmakers, all of those things. there is a classic tragedy of the comments problem. >> does the government have a role in helping companies like kodak? not kodak themselves, but are there other laws we can pass to nudge people away from outsourcing not only jobs but also their intellectual capital and their ability to grow in the future? >> absolutely. i have talked about demand-side policies. we need a level playing field to get the exchange rates right. that will cut our trade deficit about in half. it is

part of the astronaut scholarship foundation is to keep us number one in science and technology. we are not there now. we are in the middle. i just got an honorary doctorate degree from clemson last december and a ph.d.'s were given their degrees first street i think there were 28 people that got computer degrees and 18 of them were asian or chinese. if we can motivate them to stay, that's a good deal. but i don't know how the immigration stuff works. the idea of the scholarship foundation is we give 28 $10,000 scholarships away each year to a group of schools that we have affiliation with. the school picks their top two candidates in engineering, bioscience, computers. they are juniors and seniors in their respective universities. they send them to us and we have a committee headed by a shuttle astronaut. our committee picks one of the two and we give them the $10,000 scholarship. it has had a tremendous effect on the universities and the graduates who have received are scholarships are now seeing in the importance of that the dead of their careers so they are contributing in to
